Because you are weaker.

Compared to deer, unicorns, and white tigers, sparrows with lower levels of cultivation and spiritual power are easier to manipulate and more likely to succumb to poison.

Shi Yu laughed silently. She lay on the ground made of thick bones and raised her eyes to look at the hoisted and disemboweled animal.Her voice sounded very weak: "Who is the person around me who is familiar with Jade Light?"

Lu Qingran rubbed the jade ring on his thumb and said lightly "I don't know".

Shi Yu glanced lightly at the person standing beside her, then quickly looked away and stared at the animal again.

"If you don't even know who the person you know is, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task you asked me quickly." The implication is that I want to ask for more time.

The sound of footsteps could still be heard from time to time in the dark place outside the iron fence. This time the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and something whose appearance was unclear outside patted the iron fence with its paws.

Lu Qingran, who was leaning on the iron railing, lowered his eyes and looked outside, and responded: "I understand, let them wait at the sacrificial altar."

After receiving the answer, there was a faint sound outside: "Yes."

Then the footsteps got further and further away until they disappeared.

"One month."

Lu Qingran said.

"One month is the maximum time limit. If you still haven't got the jade cup by then -" he drawled, his eyes swept towards the head embedded in the wall, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, " I will make your life worse than death."

He spoke softly, without any harshness in his brows, eyes or tone, which made those who heard him feel fear for no reason.

Shi Yu supported the bones and forced herself to stand up: "What does the jade lamp look like? What are its characteristics?"

Lu Qingran was speechless.

Shi Yu: "I know what kind of object the jade lamp is, so I can find it faster. You don't want me to dive into the fog like a headless fly, do you?"

"This is your business. I am only responsible for delivering the mission. How to find it and whether it can be found is your business." Lu Qingran said, then thought of something and added: "By the way, we will probably meet again in the next few days. You You'd better be a smart person and accompany me to complete this interesting drama in front of your friends."

Shi Yu asked, "Who are you?"

A circle of scars on Lu Qingran's neck suddenly sprouted dense white bugs. He twisted his head stiffly, his eyelashes stained with a layer of cold frost. He opened the iron fence and coldly said before leaving: "Don't be curious. When it’s time to tell you my identity, I will naturally tell you.”

The moment the iron bars were closed tightly with a "clang", earth-shaking changes took place around them.The head embedded in the wall kept spinning, the disembowelled animal and its belly closed little by little. The dense white bones stepped on turned into a flat brown wooden board. Instead of the bloody smell flowing into the nose, it was the familiar sandalwood. aroma.

She returned to the wing of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The sunlight slanted into the house through the window paper and shone on her body.

But she couldn't feel the warmth.

I just feel cold.

Shi Yu stood there and calmed down, her frozen body slowly regaining its temperature.She walked to the table, lifted the teapot, and wanted to pour a cup of tea to suppress the various emotions in her heart.The tea dripped into the cup along the spout, but she stopped it in a hurry. She lifted the pot, raised her head and poured it directly into her mouth, taking a swig.

Finally, she walked to the bed step by step. The cold sweat was still sticky on her body. She didn't bother to wipe it off and shivered in the bed.Everything that had just happened was deeply etched into her mind.

The pain caused by the poison, the dark and weird dungeon, and every word Lu Qingran said were like sharp blades, gouging out her flesh piece by piece and picking at her bones.

——"Because you are easy to manipulate."

She kept thinking about and chewing on this sentence.

Going back tens of thousands of years, there is no precedent for a sparrow becoming a god.Whenever people mention it, they will also use sparrows to describe humbleness and inconspicuousness, which is not good enough, just like the often said saying "a sparrow flies up a branch and turns into a phoenix".

But even if she flies onto a branch, she is just a little sparrow.

Among the sparrow clan, those who have cultivated the most are not qualified to seek positions as immortals or immortal kings in the heavens. They are not qualified even to serve as mounts for those slightly noble immortals.Even if they want to raise them, the immortals will raise canaries; if they don't want to raise them, they will choose them as pets, either the most powerful ones or the prettiest ones.

The sparrow doesn't occupy any of them.

Those things in the heaven are either ancient mythical beasts or auspicious beasts that symbolize auspiciousness.From dragons, snakes, tigers and phoenixes, to unicorns and brave beasts, to the rat, the ugly ox, who ranks among the twelve immortals, none of them can take the sparrow's turn.

The monsters and demons won't be able to get her turn. She doesn't look fierce enough, and her spiritual power isn't powerful enough. If she goes there, she'll only get eaten.

"Emerald lamp..."

Si Yu murmured these three words softly while huddled in the bed.

Regardless of whether Lu Qingran deceived the liar Ji Xianjun or not, he was still a powerful character——

If he hadn't lied, and he had really escaped from the monster's claws, it meant that his cultivation level was above that of Immortal Lord Ziyi; if he had lied, he could clearly describe the scars left by the monster, either he had seen it before, or...

He is that monster.

Shi Yu is more inclined to the latter.

*

After her lunch break, Shi Yu was covered in sweat. She took a shower, changed her clothes, and then left the wing.

A group of people gathered in the main room, which was very lively.

When she walked away, Fang Huaixu was kneeling on the ground crying, shouting something unknown. He was crying so hard that his words were unclear and could not be heard clearly.

Seeing her, Gu Yunchuan stood up and walked over, frowning: "Why do you look so bad?"

Shi Yu burst out laughing: "I just had a nightmare."

Gu Yunchuan's expression was stagnant: "What...are you dreaming about?" Could it be that like him and Su Mu, you were dreaming about your past life?

"I can't remember clearly. I just remember that I was very scared in the dream and kept running, as if someone was chasing me." Shi Yu made up an excuse at random. Finally, she changed the subject, glanced around the room, and asked: "Immortal Lord, what did you guys talk about just now? Why did Mr. Fang still kneel on the ground and start crying?"

Gu Yunchuan said: "This second young master woke us up one by one. He went to call you, but I stopped him. I wanted to let you sleep a little longer, so I didn't let him bother you."

"He cried for a long time, and in the end it was about his brother. He also has a brother above him, named Fang Jingwei. I couldn't hear what exactly happened. He muttered. As soon as he arrived in the main room, he started crying. He knelt down and didn't say a few words, then he started crying." Gu Yunchuan felt his head grow bigger just thinking about it.

He rubbed his sore eyebrows and pulled Shi Yu to find an empty seat and sit down next to her.

Shi Yu said, "That's it", then lowered her eyes and looked at Mr. Fang, who was kneeling on the ground crying until his eyes were red and swollen and the tears were flowing.

I don’t know what happened to the eldest son.

It actually made him cry like this.
